Great movie!
Many directors these days fail to make a good Kaiju movie. I gotta say, this is one of the best. This movie makes me wanna keep watching it again and again, it is truly... epic.
Just a quick Pros n' Cons (without spoiler)
Pros:
1)CGI & FX: Fantastic interpretation of both the Kaiju and Jaeger. Visual effects demonstrate an excellent example of what an action film should look like. Plus, VFX were used very conservatively unlike many of the recent action films when all you see is explosions explosions fire explosions. 2)Plot n' Story: Very well written. Though, it might be somewhat predictable for many of you movie-goers. The fact that both the antagonist (Kaiju) and protagonist (You know, citizens from earth) are well-balanced. Both sides were quite "badass" and did not feel like one was dominating over the other.It was never about being all emotional, but it had a sense of taking a last stand. 3)(Most)Characters: Each character was unique in some way, and each had a story you could expand on. Guillermo Del Toro had thought outside the box in portraying them, and it seemed fresh. 4)Idea: We haven't had a decent Kaiju movie in a while. The movie successfully redefines and sets a new standard for a Kaiju movie. The idea was really fresh. Believe me, I once thought "Pacific Rim" was a joke at first, but then it actually made some sense.
Now, for the Cons.. Only one con for me:
1) Charlie Day had to be the most ANNOYING character I had ever seen. I mean...the way he talks is just so arrogant and loud. Every time he speak it sounds so high pitched and hyper. His tone was so angry and impatient. He doesn't have that "Chris Tucker" element and he was not funny at all, just plain annoying. The scientific sidekick also seemed like he was on drugs.
Same tone. And moreover, it stands out so badly.
Boo for that.
Besides that, the movie was great, certainty recommend you guys to check it out... in 3D.
